Gone are the days when a "common cold" was a non-event, sigh. A Berocca in very hot water is good, too, and the vit C isn't harmed by boiling water.

Yeah, I saw this skit on Twitter today about how getting sick feels now: https://mobile.twitter.com/bmotheprince/status/1532450655880855578

It resonated...

What's Berocca? Googling gives some supplement result? I don't think that particular one is sold here. I have taken some vitamin C with zinc, in hopes that it might help marginally. At least so far the cough hasn't gotten worse and my nose has cleared up some with being awake for a while.

Unfortunately in the afternoon now my back has decided to spasm, to add to my long list of reasons to be disgruntled with embodiment in general. It's just lovely how bodies like to stack unrelated discomforts on top of each other. >:(

It's sold here as Berocca and a similar one is Redoxon - they're dissolvable vitamin C (and Berocca has B vits as well). The vit C is useful and they taste okay, but likely any dissolvable vit C could be doctored up with lemon and honey much the same. I take 1000mg vit C a day during any cold.
